Testimonials

Lee Carter

Product Manager Cyber Security, Solutions PT

Working with APMG has really helped open some doors by assessing our ‘Applied Cyber Security for OT engineers’ training to gain NCSC certified training status. We looked at this pathway in the early stages of the courses development but thought it was a ‘a bridge too far’, however with APMG’s help, they guided us through this process. Having the course certification has led to an increase in enquiries and ultimately an increase in bookings. We’re now delivering what our customers and the industry has been asking for.

Joseph Lowe

Head of Economics Branch at HM Treasury

The Welsh government has saved 30-40% of time in producing the proposal methodology since we launched the Better Business Cases programme in 2013. Training was the key. We have seen far more people following best practice.

Anne W

Head of Industry Assurance at the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC)

The NCSC has worked with APMG in several places, not just CCP, so this is a good opportunity for me to thank them for their continued support to the NCSC. Cyber security is a “team game”; the interconnectedness of the world, plus the rapidly changing landscape means that the NCSC can’t possibly do what it does on its own. We rely on partners, such as APMG, who are always willing to lean in to help us when we ask or challenge us to keep us on our toes. They really do help us extend the NCSC’s reach; together we are helping to make the UK a safer place to live and work online.

We are delighted to partner with APMG to share with the world an unprecedented certification program on PPPs. This new curriculum aims to build capacity through foundation exams and a thorough PPP Guide. We hope this will serve as a comprehensive resource for PPP professionals and enable better understanding of how to deliver PPPs globally.

The Climate-Resilient Infrastructure Officers Program is an important step in building the capacity of public-private partnerships practitioners around the world as GCA continues to work with countries and partners to drive investment into resilient infrastructure on the ground.
